Three Days After The Ban, 'Indian Jugaad' Thrives To Help People In Hoarding Their Money
With the recent currency demonetisation, 86 per cent of the currency in circulation has reportedly become worthless. It was a secret - well kept by the Prime Minister - that left most of the Indian perplexed over the situation, as they began to count the notes that they had kept in their homes.

"The notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 will not be legal tender from midnight tonight and these will be just worthless piece of paper," he said.
His statement jolted the entire nation, affecting more than 1.2 billion people at the same time. Since then, everybody started looking up for the germane option to grab their black money.
That said, haltingly, during the sleeping hours of our nation, a new industry started thriving - helping black money hoarders.

One of the most open trade, the Gold business, got a kick.
Gold prices soared by more than 5 per cent on Tuesday during European hours.

Jewellers across the country started issuing bills for a previous date, and thus with no harm, this business became one of the easiest ways for hoarders.
For purchases below Rs 2 lakhs, there is no need of PAN card, thereby, allowing them to sell without being traced. This way, they will have all the paperwork that they need and nobody will be harmed or questioned.
Another method that came up in light was using the accounts of people below poverty line and operate their Jan Dhan Yojana accounts. Using which, the deposit of money below INR 2.5 lakh is possible, thereby, some people are offering to return the amount by December end, or in some cases, by March 2017.

Furthermore, the rates of currency change have soared up to 30-40% within the last two days. This ensures exchange conversion of black money in older denominations to new black money with new Rs 500, Rs 2,000 and old Rs 100 notes.
Thereby, converting black money into white does not seem to be that big a deal after all.
So, one may ask, why was this done in first place?
